Security transformation begins with a secure IT infrastructure. VxRail provides a secure, modern infrastructure from the Core to Edge to the Cloud. A hyperconverged infrastructure, VxRail is designed, engineered, built, and managed as a single product to reduce the possible attack surface by reducing the number of components that are involved in the infrastructure. VxRail software lifecycle management bundles may include updates to BIOS, firmware, hypervisor, vSphere, or any of the included management components that make updating the complete software stack much simpler, and that reduce the vulnerability to attacks.
Fully protecting an environment from today's threats requires "defense in-depth" with multiple layers of security. The networks connecting the applications and services that run on VxRail to the users that consume them must be protected, and the applications and services themselves must be secured. Firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, antivirus/malware, endpoint protection, as well as security operations and management are all part of a multilayer defense.
